Tampere Wear Center (TWC)

Tampere Wear Center (TWC) concentrates on both basic and applied aspects of wear, trying to bridge the gap between scientific basic research and applied industrial research and development. The aim of TWC is to provide in-depth insight into the mechanisms of wear and thereby facilitate the development of new wear resistant materials and to find solutions to the practical wear problems constantly faced by the industry.

TWC has excellent infrastructure for wear research, as well as highly qualified scientists and research engineers for the needs of both long-term scientific research and product development for the industry.
